Dmitry visited today and helped fixing GE oven. He was quick to diagnose issue and fixed it at reasonable price.
I haven't met a man as professional and honest as Alex in a long time. He really does the best in the interest of the customer.
Igor from Boost Appliance Service repaired my subzero refrigerator. He needed to order parts but in general the repair turned over was fast and my fridge is working perfectly right now. The best service in Morristown. Highly recommend!
I was very impressed with their great availability. They scheduled me in quickly and Ramiz was very knowledgeable and detail oriented. The error code we had was not appearing but he still spent 45 minutes making sure everything was checked. I appreciated his attention to detail and not just leaving when the error code wasn't there. We will definitely be returning customers!
A+++ Service. Boost Appliance Service is great. I called on Monday and Mr. Igor came the next day to repair the defrost sensor and drain line of my fridge, he also did thorough maintenance checks on my laundry dryer and laundry washer machine. 3 appliances all in one day. Highly recommended. Answered all my questions and showed me how to maintain my appliances. Thank you.
Eddie did an EXCELLENT job diagnosing, repairing and cleaning my washer and dryer. Completely disassembled it, made it run smoother than ever and made the inside shine like new.

Last updated August 2026
A top cavity that won't climb past 300 degrees while the bottom one runs fine is the single most common double-oven call we get out of the 07732 zip code. Second most common: two ovens set to the same 350 degrees, one reading 20-25 degrees hotter on a probe thermometer — usually a bad temperature sensor or a control board that's lost calibration. Highlands sits right on Sandy Hook Bay, and that salt air does real damage to the wiring harnesses and relay boards behind these units faster than it would forty minutes inland. We see it in the older bungalows near Water Witch and in the rebuilt, elevated homes going up around Bay Avenue after Sandy — different construction, same corrosion problem on the electrical side. A GE Profile double wall oven installed during a post-flood kitchen remodel and a twenty-year-old Whirlpool in an unrenovated Highlands cottage fail for related reasons but need different parts. Either way, a technician is usually there within two to three hours of your call.
Highlands is a small borough, and the housing stock splits pretty cleanly into two eras: pre-1960s bungalows and cottages close to the water, many raised on pilings after Hurricane Sandy, and newer or renovated homes further up the hill toward Navesink Avenue with updated kitchens. In 07732, we're regularly pulling double ovens out of cabinetry in homes that got elevated 8-10 feet post-Sandy, which means the electrical rough-in and gas lines were redone to current code — that matters when a control board needs replacing, since grounding and circuit amperage have to match the new panel. Higher up, away from the flood zone near Highlands Business District, kitchens tend to have mid-range builds — Bosch and KitchenAid double ovens are common in the remodels done in the last several years. Borough permit rules require an electrical permit if we're replacing a hardwired junction or running new circuit wiring for a double oven, not just swapping the bake element or hinge. Coastal humidity also means door gaskets and hinge springs corrode and lose tension faster here than in Freehold or Marlboro.
Common Built-In Oven Issues in Highlands
One Oven Cavity Won't Heat (Top or Bottom)
This is the number one call in Highlands, and it's almost always the bake element or the igniter on gas models — the coil glows unevenly or not at all, or a gas unit clicks but never lights. On a Samsung or LG double wall oven, it's sometimes the relay on the control board instead, since the board routes power to each cavity separately. We test the element with a multimeter for continuity first because it's the cheaper fix — usually $150-$220 installed. If the element checks out fine but the cavity still won't heat, the relay board runs closer to $280-$400, and we carry common GE and Whirlpool boards on the truck for same-day completion.
Temperature Mismatch Between the Two Ovens
Bake a tray of cookies in the top cavity and the bottom, and they come out different — that's a failed temperature sensor (thermostat probe) or a control board that's drifted out of calibration. We see this a lot in the raised homes near Bay Avenue where the oven sits on an exterior wall exposed to bay wind, and temperature swings outside stress the sensor's wiring connections over time. A replacement RTD sensor on a KitchenAid or Bosch double oven runs $130-$200 with labor. If recalibrating the control board through the diagnostic menu doesn't fix it, the board itself needs swapping, which we can usually source and install same visit for units under ten years old.
Control Board Failure and Blank or Frozen Display
A dead display, a unit that won't respond to any button, or an error code that won't clear usually traces back to the control board — and in Highlands specifically, we find corrosion on the board's ribbon connectors more often than inland towns because of the bay's salt air working into the cabinetry over years. Electrical work beyond a straight board swap on the same circuit doesn't need a Highlands permit, but if we're rerouting wiring or the junction box was damaged in a prior flood repair, borough code requires an electrical permit before we close the wall back up. Board replacement on GE or Samsung units typically runs $300-$450 and takes one visit once the part's confirmed in stock.
What Double Oven Repair Actually Costs in Highlands
Most repairs land between $150 and $450, and the big cost driver is whether the part is a control board versus a simpler mechanical piece like a hinge or bake element. Built-in double ovens cost more to service than freestanding ranges because pulling a wall unit out of tight cabinetry takes extra time — common in the smaller kitchens found in Highlands' older bungalows. Premium brands like Bosch or KitchenAid sometimes carry higher part costs than a Whirlpool or Frigidaire equivalent, but labor stays about the same. We give a firm quote before any work starts, and diagnostic visits apply toward the repair if you move forward.
Door Hinge Failure and When to Repair vs. Replace
A double oven door that sags, won't seal, or slams shut on its own usually means a broken hinge spring — heavy daily use from a family running two ovens at once wears these out faster than a single-oven household. Replacement hinges run $120-$180 per side installed and take under an hour. If the unit is past 12-15 years old and now needs a hinge plus a control board, replacement often makes more financial sense than a second big repair. We'll tell you straight when a Kenmore or older Amana unit isn't worth sinking more money into versus a new Samsung or LG double oven.
Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can you get to Highlands for Double Oven Repair?▼
Most Highlands calls get a technician on-site within two to three hours, and we run same-day appointments most weekdays plus evening slots for working households. Route 36 gets us in and out of the borough fast, and parking near the older bungalows on the narrower streets by Water Witch is tight, so let us know if there's no driveway. Call (551) 282-9561 and we'll give you a same-day window, not a vague half-day guess.
What does double oven repair cost in Highlands cost?▼
Most jobs run $150-$450 per repair, with bake elements and hinges on the low end and control boards or relay assemblies on the high end. Built-in wall units in tight Highlands kitchens sometimes add labor time since they have to come out of cabinetry carefully. We quote the exact price after diagnosing on-site, and the diagnostic fee rolls into the repair cost if you go ahead. Call (551) 282-9561 for a same-day estimate.
Do I need a permit to repair or replace a double wall oven in Highlands?▼
A straight part swap — bake element, hinge, sensor, or control board on existing wiring — doesn't require a borough permit. If the repair involves rerouting a circuit or the junction box was altered during a post-Sandy elevation rebuild, Highlands requires an electrical permit before we close the wall. We handle that paperwork directly with the borough and typically get sign-off within a few business days. We'll flag upfront whether your job needs one.
Why does my Samsung double oven show different temperatures in each cavity?▼
It's almost always a failed temperature sensor in one cavity or a control board that's drifted out of calibration — run the built-in calibration setting first, and if the gap stays past 15-20 degrees, the sensor needs replacing. We test both cavities with a separate probe thermometer to confirm before swapping parts. This affects LG and Whirlpool double ovens the same way, since they use nearly identical RTD sensor designs. Most jobs are done same visit.
How long should a double oven last given Highlands' salt air?▼
Inland, a double oven from GE, Bosch, or KitchenAid often runs 15 years before major failure. Near Sandy Hook Bay, corrosion on wiring harnesses and control board connectors tends to shorten that to 10-12 years, especially in homes with the oven on an exterior-facing wall. Our repairs carry a 90-day parts and labor warranty, and we'll tell you honestly if a unit's age makes replacement the smarter move instead of another repair.
Do you cover areas near Highlands like Atlantic Highlands or Middletown?▼
Yes — we run daily routes through Atlantic Highlands, Middletown, and Leonardo along with Highlands proper, so scheduling stays flexible with same-day slots most days. Being already in the Bayshore area on a given day usually means faster arrival if you call in the morning. Evening appointments are available for households where someone needs to be home. Call (551) 282-9561 to lock in a window.
